Two weeks ago we stated that it
would do no good for Republican and
Democratic papers to abuse Henry
George and call him a fool and a dem
agogue for George, had ability and be-
ing a religious fanatic was honest in his
views We then said we did not be-
lieve in his land theory, but that he was
personally a man Of good character
The Phllipsburg Democrat copied
what we said and responded as follows {:

Us what political organization the pet Herald
afnliatcs with
Now one might infer that the Demo
crat thinks that inasmuch as we do not
endorse Henry Georges land theory,
we ought to abuse him and call him a
fool and other outlandish names, and
if we do not do so. we are not true TO
the party we affiliate with. No, no,
Mr.. Democrat, the HERALD is not that
sort of paper. We can treat as gen.

iticaly and accord to them honesty OF

friends we have Oh earth, we disagree

There has been considerable talk
about the statement recently made on
the authority of County Attorney Me.
Kay to the effect that a good many Of
the high ways of the county were not
legal roads. The impression seems to
prevail that such a condition of the
roads is something really dreadful.
The case is not so bad as some suppose.
In a great many cases we learn the de.
fects are merely technical and can cas-.
lily be remedied. These Irregularities
in road matters often occur in new
counties. The errors. however, should
be- Promp tly corrected and great care
should be hereafter exercised 10 com
ply with every requirement of the law
in establishing public roads.

One Of our contemporaries wants to
know what political party the HERALD
belongs to. We will inform it that the
HERALD belongs to no political
party but to the two gentlemen whose
names stand at the head of its columns
as proprietors. While our paper is
not owned by any party and does not
acknowledge allegiance to any politi-
cal bosses little or big, yet it supports
republican candidates when they are
worthy and steadfastly stands by the
cardinal doctrines of the Republican
party. The HERALD has no collar
around its neck nor muzzle on its
mouth. 1t claims 10 have as much
right to express its honest thoughts as
the biggest newspaper, have to publish
theirs. When the Republican party
goes right, the HERALD will march
along with the procession; when it
goes wrong, we will disapprove Of such
action, giving our honest reasons for
such disapprOval. The HERALD will
not be for the party right or wrong.

Since our last issue, a petition signed
by 80 residents of the First Commits
sioner District, has been sent to the
County Clerk asking the appointment
Of w. II. H. Gray, Of Kirwin township,
to the vacancy on the Board of County
Commissioners Occasioned by the re-
moval of w. d. Covington, from Lo-
gan to PhilliPsburg. The Board has
not yet officially considered this petit
ton, but they did consider the one
from Logan mentioned last week. In
asmuch as Capt. Covington claims
that his home is still in Logan, the APP
pointing power did not know what to
do hence did nothing toward oppoint-

The Iowa Republicans did a grand
thing in placing a plank in their state
platform that they had no compromise
to make with the saloon, and demand
ed the rigid enforcement of the prohibit
tory law. The late Republican Con-
vention Of West Virginia, be it said to
their discredit, resolved in their State
Convention. that they favored the re-
moval Of the internal revenue tax from
alcoholic liquors in that state. The
HERALD cordially endorses the action
Of the Iowa Republicans, and condemns
the actions of the party IN Virginia on
the liquor question.

A Gentleman Known by His
Writings.

Writings.
There is no place where a mans true nature
will assert itself more forCibly than in his style
of writing for the public press. The loaters the
dered fit TO appear among gentlemen. but give
either a pen and the choice of subject, and how
soon he scratches his dtsreputuDle inner man TO
tile surface II q man d ii gentleman he VIII act
like gentleman. talk Ike gentleman, and write
like d gentleman. If he is "a luutCr Icy nature, You
can never hope To make gentleman Of him eN-
cept in outward appearances Exchange.
The above is true as gospel and ex-
plains some things IN journalism that
are a mystery TO plain people. Farm
ers often ask us why it is that editors
are so bitterly abusive of each other in
their papers, and at the same time
personally friendly when they meet.
The answer is: When they meet they
uncOnsciOusly assume the manners Of
gentlemen, but in the quiet OF the office
they write out their inherent brutality
and coarseness, writing things they
would feel it an utter disgrace to say
publicly
The written word is a better expires
of the real character than the spoken,
for the reason that there is less restraint
and the real man speaks out. Lovers
understand this, and in this fact lies the
snbtle charm of the lOve-letter. The
tone and spirit of a mans writing is n
better key TO his heart than his speech
or manner.
To appear better than one is, in com
pany is the acquired habit of a lifetime
and becomes automatic; to do so in
writing requires conscious effort.
The cOarseneSs and brutality Of much
/ that passes for journalism only indi-
Gates that the editors who manifest it
| are coarse and brutal men, who think
their readers are rs coarse and brutal
as they are.
In ike manner the coward reveals
/ himself in journalism. The journalist
who has something to say will be asa
man of war from his youth up" If he
/ is brave man he will never misquOte
nor misrepresent his opponent. If he
wishes to cOnfute an argument he will
state it fairly, fully and in all its
strength before undertaking to refute
| it. A coward and bully never does
this. By this sign YOU can always know
! him. He viii never state an argument
or never discuss it fairly: He Will take
up some side issue, or 90 off on some
personal matter, or something else
which he thinks will create prejudice
f. This is the true mark Of the coward and
| bully, who usually is found to be a
/. blackguard besides. A paper imbued
with that spirit is a contamination tC

enters as an honOred guest.-IOws
